87 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Climate & Energy. 42 of them counted toward the score above: 13 toward “Climate action” and 29 toward “Fossil fuel priority”.

The other 45 did not count: 44 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 1 was one they did not cast a yea or nay on. They are listed below anyway, marked as not scored, because a filtered list of votes is not a voting record.
